“With great pride we present the program of music for Houghton 2022,” Richards commented.
“None of us could have imagined such a suspenseful and prolonged journey to the summit. But get there we shall. Preparations are fully under way, The magic of Houghton will soon return.”
Among those to appear at this year’s event is Midland, who explains that he will “never forget walking on to site at the first Houghton. It was clear from the off that this was no ordinary ‘festival’. It’s rare to feel that free in how you play and experience music but everything is geared towards making it an out of body experience for artists and attendees alike and I cannot wait to return”.
Elsewhere, as Saoirse puts it, “I think one of my favourite things about Houghton is that it is so well curated that I had a kind of like guarantee that any stage or tent I would end up in I would encounter really quality, you could just stray anywhere and you’ll hear really good music, it takes the festival planning stress away.”
